dedicated organic ground at AES's?



Hello SANET, 

Urgent information request:

We are trying to compile a list of all research facilities that have 
experimental ground dedicated to organic farming methods.  If anyone knows 
of such situations, please e-mail us here <research@ofrf.org>.  

By "organic ground" we mean that the ground is (or could be) certified for 
organic production by an independent organic certification body. 

We'd like to know 1) How long has the ground been recognized by the 
institution as organic? 2)What is the formal/administrative status of this 
ground, i.e., how "dedicated" is it? 3)Is the ground actually certified 
organic? By whom? 4) If it is not certified, has any consideration been 
given to the idea, or have any particular obstacles been encountered? 5)What 
research activity is taking place on the ground?

We are hoping to compile this information and make it available to SANET 
very soon.  Thanks for your help!
